Hartree-Fock Method vs. Configuration Interaction

I am trying to find a clear description of what makes the convergence of the error in electronic energy with respect to orbital basis set less rapid in CI calculations than in HF calculations.

Can anyone help to find the reason?

I think the CI calculation is just generally more complicated since it can account for correlation and whatnot.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
